I turned around in shock, only to see Sheng Shiyao standing behind me for some time, his eyes were clear, and he had obviously been standing for a while. But his sudden voice really startled me, and he muttered in a low voice: "Why didn't you say it earlier." He ignored me, walked over to me and sat down, his eyes fixed on the pavilion I had painted, and he asked, "Where did you see that?" ”

I was worried that no one would come to analyze it, but since he had woken up, I immediately told him the dream I had just had, and then pointed to the distorted pavilion on the ground, and said, "That's what it looks like, with lanterns hanging from its four corners, and on both the upper and lower floors." Do you think my dream is a sign that there is this ancient building in the lake? ”

Sheng Shiyao looked at the lake in the thick fog, and said lightly: "Is it not, I only know when I see it." ”

After dawn, Sheng Shiyao announced his decision to cross the Green Lake. To cross the lake, boats must be indispensable, and we had no tools to chop down trees to make improvised bamboo rafts, which were as strong as possible. The fog on the lake cleared completely at noon, and it probably happened every day.

After a short rest in the afternoon, we boarded the raft and began to paddle to the middle of the lake. The water of the lake is clear and the breeze blows in the face, which is particularly pleasant. We made the raft very large to prevent the lake from being too wide and not necessarily reaching the opposite shore at night, and if that was the case, then we could lie down and rest on the big raft.

After a few days of recuperation, Liuzi has recovered a lot, don't look at his serious injuries before, but most of them are skin injuries, plus he has basically not been allowed to walk and exert strength in the past few days, and most of the injuries have been healed. Therefore, he and Zhou Tong served as the oarsmen, and Sheng Shiyao still stood in front of the bamboo row, guiding the direction. After coming out of the maze, his compass was back to normal, and even though I couldn't see any feng shui metaphysics to see on the endless lake, he was always staring straight ahead.

As expected, we didn't row to the other side until it was dark, but in the middle of the lake, we could see the mountains on the left and right towering majestically, and as far as the eye could see, they seemed to be closing together in an inverted V-shape, which means that the lake we are crossing now is sandwiched between the mountains.

If this is man-made, how much manpower does it take? I don't quite believe in this possibility, but I have an idea in my heart that it is likely that the ancients first discovered this lake and felt that the scenery here is infinitely suitable for habitation, so they settled on the other side of the lake. But they were afraid that the scenery would attract not only them, but also outsiders, so they planted trees on the other side of the lake and laid a forest battle. Then form an artificial and natural barrier to protect their people.

After dark, we paddled forward for another two hours before stopping. The mountain in front of us looks close, but in fact it is still far away, and it seems impractical to stop at the mountain. Luckily, the lake was calm and there were no waves, so we stopped paddling and just floated on it and didn't drift anywhere else. It wasn't until the middle of the night that we realized how stupid our ideas were.

It was Sheng Shiyao who shouted everyone up, because on the wooden raft, it was impossible to make a fire or anything, so when he opened his eyes, he saw that it was pitch black, it was really dark, and there seemed to be something mixed in the air. After careful identification, it was found that it was a thick fog, and it was foggy again in the middle of the night. But this shouldn't be the reason for Sheng Shiyao to wake us up, just listen to him say in a deep voice: "The water is moving!" "As soon as he reminded me, I immediately realized that our raft was indeed moving, and it was not slow.

What's going on? I didn't feel the direction of the wind, so how could the water move for no reason? Zhou Tong and Liuzi hurriedly paddled with the pulp, but as if there was a suction, our raft was quickly sucked in a certain direction. In the end, Sheng Shiyao gave the order, and everyone lay on the raft, in order to suppress the raft with the weight of the human body and not be overturned by the agitated waves.

A strong sense of foreboding grew in my mind, and what did the darkness, the fog, the lack of wind, and the rushing of water mean? Soon I have the answer, the whirlpool, a huge whirlpool! All the water was pouring into the center, including our raft, and by the time we found out that there was a whirlpool, it was too late, and the whole raft was swept into it, and in an instant it was overturned, and I smashed headlong into the lake, and felt the suction force like a giant hand, pulling me into the center of the whirlpool until it reached the top.

I don't know about the others, except that I have swirled around the lake several times before sinking my body like a daughter. I swayed my limbs desperately, trying to compete with this force, but the insignificance of human beings was vividly reflected at this time, and the small strength was in vain. The air in my lungs was decreasing little by little, my limbs began to weaken, my consciousness gradually withdrew, and the thought that crossed my mind was: it turned out that we had passed through the lost forest, not the end, but the end of this green lake.

The beautiful green lake is not only beautiful, but also has the power to swallow.

Just as I gave up the struggle and was ready to meet the moment of final suffocation, I suddenly heard Sheng Shiyao's voice in my ears: "Use the shadow moon!" "A shock, reflexively touched the Shadow Moon Knife in his arms, no matter how much thirty-seven twenty-one is to pull out and cut horizontally, I don't know what to cut, but my consciousness tells me that I should do it. As my arm stretched out to the limit, I felt like Shadow Moon had slashed something, and then a sharp sound came, and I was hit hard.

If your heart is not good, didn't you cut your own people? What I heard just now was Sheng Shiyao's voice, could it be that it was him who just chopped? Thinking of the sharpness of the Shadow Moon Knife, I couldn't help but tremble, and my eyes widened to see, but it was dark under the water, and I couldn't see anything. Suddenly, a buoyancy lifted my body up, and my back collar was also grabbed by someone, all the way up, and when my chest and lungs were in severe pain, I got out of the water.

Looking back, it's Sheng Shiyao! I didn't care about the stinging pain in my throat, so I grabbed his arm and asked, "Are you okay, where did you just cut?" He let go of my collar and wrapped his arms around my waist instead, saying, "I'm not hurt." "I don't believe it, the feeling just now can't be wrong, it is indeed a real thing, and there is that voice, although it doesn't sound like Sheng Shiyao is screaming in pain, but he is so close to me, and there is no one else next to him, only he may have hurt him.

It must have been injured somewhere on his body hidden underwater, and he was afraid that I would feel guilty and worried, so he lied to me. As soon as his eyes were sour, tears poured out inexplicably, Sheng Shiyao turned his eyes, frowned and said, "What are you crying for?" I said I wasn't hurt, you didn't cut me. Haven't noticed anything around you? His tone was firm, and I hesitated and hesitated to confirm: "It's really not you?" He said, "No." I was a little convinced, and I thought about what he had just said, and looked to the side.

At this look, I was stunned, we seemed to swim out of the whirlpool, and the current was no longer surging. What's going on? I was obviously swept into the whirlpool just now, how could I get out of that range after I came to the surface from the bottom of the lake, and was driven by Sheng Shiyao to swim for a while? When we found the water moving on the raft just now, it was still far from the whirlpool, and it was sucked by the whirlpool, so it was impossible for us to swim out of the range of the previous raft in such a short time.

Not only that, but it seems that the fog is also dissipating, and the fog from last night did not disperse until noon, why is it so fast tonight? As our vision became clearer, we quickly found the raft, and Sheng Shiyao pushed me up before he rolled over. I immediately searched his whole body, up and down, back and forth, and only when I confirmed that there were really no extra wounds on his body, did I really breathe a sigh of relief.

But then he remembered the other three and asked urgently: "What about them?" Sheng Shiyao shook his head and said, "I don't know." The pulp on the raft was long gone, and he leaned over to untie the rope on the side of the raft, pulled out the outermost log, and then continued to tie it, and paddled on the spot with the long log, controlling the direction.

I also wanted to help, but I was hit all over my body at the last time, and I couldn't spend any strength, so I lay there and looked up at him and asked, "What happened just now?" Are you the one who told me to pull out the Shadow Moon Blade? If he said no, I would really think I was dreaming again, but fortunately he nodded, and then said with a deep face, "Don't you find that the vortex very problematic?" ”

What's wrong with the whirlpool? Isn't it just a natural phenomenon?

But he said: "The vortex was originally created because of geomagnetic gravity, which is equivalent to saying that there is a huge magnetic field at the bottom of the lake, which sucks the surrounding water into it. But this phenomenon is diurnal and diurnal, but what we have just experienced is very different, first it occurs at night, and secondly after a thick fog. I thought it was strange that there were a lot of fish in the middle of the lake at night, and those fish were all out of the whirlpool, and they were more or less injured, and the thick fog made the lake dull, which caused the fish to rise and fall. These fish, even if we don't catch them, will die after a few days. ”

This sounds a bit like seeing countless fish floating on the surface of the river in the village when I was a child, and the villagers call this phenomenon "dizzy pond", saying that it is because the air is too stuffy, resulting in a lack of oxygen in the river water, and usually in order to save those fish, it is necessary to use an aeration pump to oxygenate the river.

But I still don't understand, what does what Sheng Shiyao said have to do with the whirlpool? Seeing that my face was full of confusion, he shook his head and said, "What a stupid girl, I haven't figured it out yet." Since the possibility of a natural phenomenon caused by geomagnetic gravity has been ruled out, there must be another reason. Isn't it clear that you've already felt something hit, heard the screams of the other person, and finally been attacked? ”

I followed his train of thought and asked in surprise, "What do you mean...... Is this artificial? ”

"Have you ever seen anyone with that much divine power to cause a whirlpool in the center of a lake?"

Well, that's probably not, it's not human, it's not a natural phenomenon, that's ...... Fish? Or the aquatic life at the bottom of the lake? Asked Sheng Shiyao, seeing him nodding, he couldn't help but speak, causing such a big movement, how big a water creature is, the fish must be as big as a whale, but this is a lake and not a sea, how can there be a whale? Listening to Sheng Shiyao's meaning, not only this whirlpool, but also this dense fog was caused by the water creatures.

I instinctively thought that thing was a lake monster!
